3 things you should not share with friends or family members

-
Image
Sometimes we want to be free with people and share our things with them. Sharing is not a bad thing to do but there are some personal things we should never share with our friends or with family members. When we do this, it's not because we are greedy or we don't want to share. According to Healthline, some things can't just be shared for medical reasons. If we do, there's the possibility of developing diseases and because of this, it's better we don't share them at all. Lipstick or lip gloss: This is common for ladies, whenever a lady forgets her make up kits at home, she would try to borrow them from her friend.

THE WAY FORWARD-ASUU and FGN statement

-
Image
By  Prof. S.A.S. Aruwa   Higher educational Institutions (HEIs) are heading into a period of financial crisis. Now than ever, financing of HEIs in Nigeria have to be matched continuously with competing claims for the use of present and future resources. The current ASUU’s demands and funding requirements need to be appraised given the financing options in terms of sustainability of funding public universities. Many developing countries, which fifteen years ago were spending only 1 to 2 per cent of their gross national product on education are today spending 3, 4 or 5 per cent. And whereas they were earlier spending less than 10 per cent of their total public budget on education, many are now spending 15, 20 or even 25 per cent. This rise in education’s share of national resources cannot go on at this rate indefinitely. The funding of education has not been up to 17% in any given year despite the UNESCO minimum standard of 26% of national budget. In Nigeria, according to Centra...
